ALONE

 

ALONE

There's an advantage to being alone,

Especially this time of the year.

Some people act crazy and bent out of joint,

But I have nobody near.

Love's more important than fancy-wrapped gifts,

Don't frown and fuss and pout!

Some try to "one up" and over-spend,

As if money is what it's about.

Enjoy the presence of your friends and kin,

Or a simple, solitary day

There's nothing wrong with being solo,

Be contented in your own special way.

(Or enjoy a quiet day, at home [alone].)

... memories ... swift gone ...

Out of the crush of whirling crowds

... Or locking arms
